John Whittingdale visited EOL IT Services in Station Road, Maldon to present awards to staff and to hear how the company has fared since his last visit in 2006. Founded in 1996 by CEO Jan Smith, EOL provides IT Asset Recycling and Managed IT Services to many of the leading companies in Britain. Now employing around 50 staff and operating a 24/7 nationawide service, EOL recently undertook one of the largest IT decommissioning projects in the City of London, handling over 30,000 technology items spread across 10 floors. EOL has also opened a retail showroom in Maldon for the Christmas period, offering second-user IT equipment at affordable prices.
John Whittingdale said: “I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit EOL IT Services once again to see the progress that the company has made and to meet some of the staff. It is tremendous that a Maldon-based company is providing such a vital service for so many of the biggest companies in the City and elsewhere. In these challenging times, it is great news that the company is doing so well and providing jobs for so many young people”.John is pictured with Jan Smith – Chief Executive, Adam Mitchell – Apprentice of the Year, and Wendy Davies – Supply Chain Director.
